1. Download the Docker toolbox: https://www.docker.com/docker-toolbox .
This toolbox includes a virtual machine as well all the Docker tools you need to the Docker container which is provided by us.
More instructions to get with can be found here: http://docs.docker.com/windows/started/
2. After installing the toolbox, open the "Docker Quickstart Terminal"
